Get a Look at the Next Seasons of Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Lower Decks

The most exciting Star Trek news out of San Diego Comic-Con is absolutely the musical episode coming up on Strange New Worlds—but there are other things to look forward to, too! Like a new trailer for Lower Decks and a sneak peek at the upcoming final season of Discovery.

In the CGI-heavy Discovery clip, below, Captain Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) does a bit of space surfing on a ship belonging to Moll (Eve Harlow) and L’ak (Elias Toufexis)—with Captain Rayner (Callum Keith Rennie) in dangerous pursuit. Without context it’s hard to get hugely invested in whatever wacky shenanigans we’ve been dropped into the middle of, but I do want to know who’s giving Michael a saxophone lesson afterwards.

Here’s the summary for season five:

The fifth and final season will find Captain Burnham and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery uncovering a mystery that will send them on an epic adventure across the galaxy to find an ancient power whose very existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries. But there are others on the hunt as well … dangerous foes who are desperate to claim the prize for themselves and will stop at nothing to get it.

Meanwhile, on Lower Decks, chaos is afoot, and promotions may (or may not) be imminent. So long as everything goes well. (Spoilers: It doesn’t seem like it does?) But as Mariner (Tawny Newsome) says, it’s “nothing compared to, you know, that Pike thing we aren’t supposed to talk about.” Here’s the synopsis:

in season four of Star Trek: Lower Decks, an unknown force is destroying starships and threatening galactic peace. Luckily, the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos isn’t important enough for stuff like that! Instead, Ensigns Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, Rutherford and Provisional Ensign T’Lyn are keeping up with their Starfleet duties, avoiding malevolent computers and getting stuck in a couple caves—all while encountering new and classic aliens along the way.

Lower Decks premieres September 7th, and Discovery returns next year.
